Description
The 2016 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is golden in color. Aromas of yellow apple, melon, citrus zest and mango meld beautifully with notes of toasted hazelnut and vanilla custard from the oak aging. Pure and rich with an elegant palate, it displays fruit-forward flavors of golden apple, nectarine, and guava with subtle hints of butterscotch. With its cool-climate influences, this Chardonnay has remarkable varietal intensity, balanced acidity and mineral notes that complement the rich and full flavors of baked apples, and vanilla cream.
2016 was another prime vintage with moderate temperatures throughout the spring and summer. The quality of fruit was excellent across the board with smaller berry sizes and concentrated flavors. We experienced little rainfall in the winter with warmer trends in the spring and summer. Harvest arrived earlier than in previous years with the fruit coming in September 8th to October 7th. The wine was barrel fermented and aged for 10 months in French, American, and Hungarian oak (30% new). Regular lees stirring and Malolactic fermentation provided additional richness and viscosity to this Chardonnay.
